why does it have to return to normal mode after wot? that i was the deal breaker for me...
primary purpose for me is to reduce throttle lag. i dont care about fuel economy on my Z.
It will increase the output all the way up to the point of WOT thus reducing throttle lag.

My Fit with my exhaust and intake sounds like a racecar with the Boost mode on

I would believe the Boost mode is just altering the tables so that you are getting to 100% throttle quicker to make it feel like there is no lag, but once you put it to the floor you are at 100% thus returning to "normal" mode i.e. 100% throttle.

It would be cool if they gave a break out of the changes.

Stock throttle table vs Apexi Boost mode.


Kenchan, if interested I would cross shop the Sprint Booster for features and price.
Yeah exactly David, but for me I really bought it more for the MPG increases. Just driving around town I am seeing a +4mpg and even higher on the highway. It makes you want to drive more effeciently.

I use the boost mode for when I get onto the freeway and then normally drive around in the Low Throttle mode.

wish they made the unit and harness separate so that i can use it on my Fit if i end up not really
liking it longer term (than 30 day money back) on my Z...
Apexi is $150 for the controller and $50 for the harness, pretty good deal considering it should pay for itself with the increases in MPG over time.
